Andy Reid has always been considered an offensive-minded head coach Stitched Darwin Thompson Jersey , whether it's because he played along the offensive line in college or tutored the likes of Brett Favre once he reached the NFL.So his response wasn't all that surprising this week when the Chiefs coach was asked who generally comes out on top when an potent offense goes up against a shutdown defense."This thing is based on a point system," Reid said with a wry grin. "Pretty simple there."Well, points might be at a premium even for the Chiefs' potent attack Sunday, because Reid and Co. are getting precisely what he was asked about: The Baltimore Ravens are rolling into Arrowhead Stadium boasting the league's top-ranked defense for an intriguing matchup between playoff contenders.The AFC West-leading Chiefs (10-2) are tops in the NFL in scoring at 37 points per game. They also lead in yards per play, are third in yards passing and in the top five in most other categories.The Ravens (7-5), who are a game back of Pittsburgh in the loss column in the AFC North, allow a league-best 17.8 points per game. They're also No. 1 in total yards, second in yards passing and third in yards rushing, while their 35 sacks also rank among the best in the NFL."We're going to face, arguably, the best offense in the league on Sunday. We just have to go to work," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "I know that's what you always hear Darwin Thompson Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , but that's really got to be the focus. Just keep it about that."As for the Chiefs, their focus can return to what happens on the field.They were preparing for last week's trip to Oakland when video surfaced that showed star running back Kareem Hunt assaulting a woman in a hotel hallway in February. By the time they took the field 48 hours later, Hunt had been released and Spencer Ware had taken over as the starter in a 40-33 victory.Now, the veteran running back will have a week's worth of work as their No. 1 running back behind him, and just in time to face the Ravens and their rugged defensive front."They've got a lot of size up front, and on their defense overall, but it's the same mentality," Ware said. "We're going to try to get in there and control the football."The Ravens have likewise become a ground-oriented attack with elusive Lamar Jackson under center, and with the emergence of Gus Edwards at running back. They've had at least 200 yards rushing in each of their past three wins, becoming the first team since the 2010 Jaguars to accomplish that feat."I just play ball. I don't think about all that when I'm out there," Jackson said. "It's just moving the ball, get positive possessions Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys Stitched , don't get negative plays and stuff like that. I just want to move the ball downfield, hopefully get in the red zone and score points."As the Ravens prepare to visit Kansas City on Sunday, here are some other things to know:TEACHER VS STUDENTHarbaugh was hired in 2008 by Ray Rhodes and retained when Reid took over as Philadelphia's coach in 2009, working first with special teams and then with the secondary.Harbaugh and Reid went to a Super Bowl together with the Eagles in 2004, before Harbaugh left for Baltimore in 2008."Who you start with really makes a big difference," said Harbaugh, who won the Super Bowl with the Ravens in 2012. "If you start with people that do it the right way it just gives you a chance, gives you a leg up. And Andy, for me, was a big part of that in every way."PLENTY OF OPTIONSWhen Jackson runs the run-pass option, he's got plenty of backs from which to choose. Edwards has been receiving the majority of carries lately, though his string of 100-yard games ended in Atlanta in part because Kenneth Dixon and Ty Montgomery combined for 11 attempts. Dixon ran for 37 yards Discount Darwin Thompson Jersey , but he also had one of the Ravens' four fumbles in the game."The good thing is," Harbaugh said, "he recovered it right away."BELIEF IN BERRYChiefs safety Eric Berry could make his season debut after hurting his heel early in training camp. He never landed on injured reserve, but the Chiefs held their star playmaker out of action until coming back from their bye last week. He didn't play in Oakland, but he now has two weeks of practice under him and Reid said it is possible that he is active on Sunday.WEST'S RETURNThe Chiefs signed former running back Charcandrick West to provide depth after Hunt's release, and don't be surprised if he is active on Sunday. West is familiar with the offense, and he is excellent as both a pass-catcher and blocker in the passing game, making him useful against the Baltimore defense."Home is always the best-case scenario," West said of his return. "This is my family."FORECAST FOR FOOTBALLFreezing temperatures are expected Sunday, and some wonder how Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will respond to them. He played collegiately at Texas Tech, and the bye coupled with a trip to Oakland the past few weeks means his experience in frigid weather is limited."I don't think it changes at all. Coach Reid has us outside every single day," he said. "But it will be awesome to be back at Arrowhead. Hopefully we can stay here more than these last three (regular-season) games. Hopefully we can use home-field advantage to our advantage." The Super Bowl isn’t won or lost in March — but that never means some won’t frame it that way"In an article published on Friday Super Bowl Darwin Thompson Jersey , five NFL.com writers were asked a simple question:“Which 2018 playoff team is in the most trouble heading into 2019?”Brian Baldinger and Charley Casserly picked the Baltimore Ravens.Maurice Jones-Drew picked the Houstan Texans.But two writers picked the Kansas City Chiefs.Reggie Wayne said that expectations would get the better of the Chiefs David Carr agreed with Wayne about Houston and Ford, and said the team simply has too many questions.We’re glad that David Carr will be watching Mahomes.Expectations are indeed high after the incredible MVP season Mahomes compiled in his first season as a starter.And it’s certainly true that the Chiefs have big shoes to fill with the departure of Houston and Ford.But... c’mon, man!It’s only March.As Chiefs.com writer Matt McMullen noted on Friday, it’s not as if the Chiefs rushing attack fell off a cliff when Kareem Hunt was released.If Carr tuned in to watch Mahomes at the end of 2018, how could have failed to notice Damien Williams?Tyreek Hill?It’s true that Hill’s status for 2019 remains unknown.But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.Not only has the Chiefs wide receiver not been charged with a crime, to this point, he has yet to even be credibly accused of anything.Is it fair to suggest that the Chiefs could struggle on defense with all the changes made to the team during the offseason?On balance, the answer would have to be yes.But even with a well-below average defense, the Chiefs were a play away from the Super Bowl in 2018.And now they have the Honey Badger.What say you?
